Miss Havisham Continuity look

For my Miss Havisham Look, I decided to portray her as the woman she became after she'd been jilted at the alter. So she is very ragged, old, almost fragile in a way. I wanted to portray this by applying the Theatrical ageing technique, create the illusion of makeup running down her face, and give her an almost dusty grey complexion.

Makeup Method-

  1. First begin with a clean, fresh Face ready for application.
  2. Next you want to mix together the base foundation for the model, to do this you need to go 2-3 shades lighter than the natural skin tone. 
  3. You then need to mix in a small amount of black and white to give the skin a grey tinge to the look. 
  4. Make sure that you blend the base down the neck and over the ears. 
  5. Then next step is to apply the ageing technique. add a bit more black to the foundation base mixture and then begin to add the wrinkles onto the forehead, nose, chin and eyes, and hollow out the eyes and cheeks by using the base for contour. 
  6. Apply the translucent powder onto a powder puff and transfer it gently onto the face and neck, then using a powder brush brush over it making sure that you cover all the face so that the foundation is not dewy. 
  7. Apply the base colour to the Mascara wand and brush it through the eyebrows, making sure that the are covered thoroughly and left looking unkempt also.
  8. Using the stipple sponge, dip it into the red supracolor and then apply it to the apples of the cheeks. 
  9. Next apply black eyeshadow to the eyes making sure that they look smudged. 
  10. Apply red lipstick to the lips an using your finger, smudge it out.
  11. Finally apply mascara to the eyelashes.

Evaluation- 

I found that for my miss Havisham Continuity look, it was alot harder than I initially thought that it would be. I feel that my designs were not the most efficient or managable to fit in with the brief. In order to create a perfect contiuity look, the designs have to be simple and easy to produce again, whereas mine were a bit more detailed an involved alot of smudging which is hard to reacreate exactly the same. That being said, i do, however, feel that with this aspect in mine, I managed to get the 2nd look as close to the original one as i could with a few minor errors. Overall, I am fairly happy with the outcome of the look. Although if i were to change a few things i would firstly change the makeup designs, id make it easier to recreate the look again and simple to follow. I think i would also make the look a little bit less dramatic, i feel that this look is more suited for theatre, not Television.
